In control challenge

In our digital world, it’s important that we all think before we sign-up for, post, like or share anything online. The TELUS Wise in control challenge helps you reflect on how well you are protecting and positively managing your online reputation.

Do you read and adjust privacy and permission settings for your social media accounts and apps?

Yes – when I first sign up and every time I receive a notification that there has been an update

Sometimes – maybe when I first set up the account or download the app

No – who has time for that?

Do you think carefully about the information you share online and the impact it has on your privacy?

No – my whole life is online and that’s what social media is for

Sometimes – I try to manage my privacy the best I can

Yes – I limit the personal information I share online to protect my privacy and reduce chances of identity theft

Have you ever shared an intimate image online of yourself or someone else?

Yes – but I wish I didn’t

Never – sharing intimate images is really risky and sharing one of someone else without their consent is morally wrong

Yes – everyone takes and shares sexts

Do you text and drive? (if you don’t drive, answer this question thinking about texting and walking)

No – it’s really distracting and not worth the risk

Sometimes – but only if it’s urgent or if I’m sending a quick message

Yes – I’m pretty good at multi-tasking

Which of the following best describes your password management skills?

I use strong passwords, I change them often, and I use a different password for new accounts and apps

I think I use strong passwords, but sometimes use the same password(s) for a few accounts

I use simple (or the same) passwords for all of my accounts and apps because I’d never remember them otherwise!

If a job recruiter or volunteer agency Googled you right now to check out your online presence and personal brand, what would they think?

They would be impressed – my online brand is pretty good, I think…

Good question… I’m not sure what they would find

I’m a great choice for the job/volunteer role and would represent their organization well; my online brand is polished and professional
